Re: [PHP4BETA] JSP vs. PHP - Two vs. Three Teir

: But PHP interpreting .php files even request. : PHP steps: : 1. Read php file Its not physically read 200 times on 200 requests in a sec, the operating system is smart enough to serve it while its in memory. : 2. Interpretation I wonder if algorithm for default values of php.ini could be added to the configuration parser, so if you don't have a php.ini, simply the defaults are used ... no file read overhead, no interpretation required. : 3. Running. I think only some sort of cache system (which Zend has planned) which would tokenize the script and cache into memory and recache when the timestamp on the file has changed can really speed things up. Enjoy! Faisal
